trust I will trust you. I will trust in your plan. I will trust in your timing.... I will trust in you.

to all the selfless fathers who shifted and molded their lives to help us grow to help us stand on our own two feet in times we’ll never comprehend... in ways we’ll never relate to all while hiding the true struggle making it all look so easy to help us grow & to help us stand on our own two feet // Creating timeless pieces in a small attempt to showcase our love in their mother tongue shop link in bio.

the true heroes are the ones risking their lives for their future the ones sleeping on the ground so the generations after them won’t have to the ones advocating for their rights day in and out the ones who left their families, uncertain if they’ll return safely... the ones we lost too soon in the fight the ones being called names, tortured, and abused... yet, the ones showcasing what living in Chardi Kala truly means In the diaspora, our hearts torn our minds numb how can we help? advocating through our various channels, creating, fundraising, sharing.. in hopes for SOMETHING to change & finally.. our collective efforts have started news stories in mainstream media.. and A few tweets (thanks @badgalriri) have blossomed into the world lifting the curtain into the plethora of human right issues & I’ve said it before and I’ll continue to... Say it louder for the people in the back: THE POWER OF THE PEOPLE IS STRONGER THAN THE PEOPLE IN POWER let’s keep this momentum // The Kisaan collection is active online. If you have it in your means, please purchase and we will donate the proceeds to @sahaita These posters are free downloads (to print for rallies), or feel free to repost these in your feeds.

My emotions have been on a rollercoaster: from feeling proud of the resilience to heartbroken of the abuse to anger of the cowardly actions to relief of seeing another powerful day... to deep sadness of the rising death toll.. to confusion of how can I help more? over 3 months of uncomfortable yet passionate peaceful protests being met with brutality, shenanigans, tricks yet our farmers blood is woven together so powerfully #ISTANDWITHFARMERS I shared this before, and I will share this again The power of the people is STRONGER than the people in power and I truly beleive this especially in a time like this TOGETHER, fam Keep sharing. Keep supporting. Use your voice. Use your words. Use your platform. Educate yourselves. Educate others. Keep the conversation going. When genocides have occurred, the Indian government controlled the media.. where families in Punjab, let alone in the diaspora, had no idea what was happening in that moment. #ASKINDIAWHY We have the power of social media that has connected (yet sometimes divided with shadow banning) us all.. and we are simply one post away from spreading awareness. NO FARMERS NO FOOD NO FUTURE excellent insight, sources, & reposts of amazing content: @savingpunjab @turbanoutfitter @kisaanico @creativemannco @sikhexpo and more under #KisaanEktaZindabad Site is going through some updates so will announce restock ASAP This is just my small way to give back, and I will continue to do so in any capacity that I can. If my Kisaan collection does not speak to you, please support another creator, or donate directly to organizations that will HELP and AID our farmers, and their future.. together, we can rise. // Ps. Emails and messages will be responded to ASAP.. thank you for your patience while I’ve been navigating this emotional rollercoaster of life these past few months // first image inspired by @trolley_times_official first newsletter
